Devils in the Details

The devil’s in the details,
Selfish souls for retail
God doesn’t answer prayers
He only answers emails

A demonic description
Of a self destructive demolition
Concentration controlled
By a conspiracy driven coalition

Cowards by the hour
Sending soldiers on dummy missions
While the eyes of desperate housewives
Are glued to their televisions

Poisoned...
Impoverished...
Imprisoned...
Policed...

 

Outcasts of society with no chance of release

Who’s the real thief?

 

The dead are pretending to be alive
A slim line between Sainthood and Satan
The New World Order

Disorder has arrived
Thanks for being patient…

This was absolutely lovely and flowed quite well. I love the theme as well as the rhyming scheme. I would not mind seeing more.

INTRODUCTION

1. This reminds me of the thematic perceptions of the television series, "Supernatural."

INTERPRETATION OF THE DEVIL

"Devil's in the Details" confronts society as the horror which I am inclined to agree with. "Selfish Souls for Retail" is an excellent allusion to the corruption of marketing. Incorporations such as Wal Mart serve as a prime example of this.

"Hell is other people," extracted from Jean-Paul Sarte's, "No Exit."

CONCLUSION

I felt that it almost had an Apocalypse feel to the end of it as if the writer is trying to w a r n us of something. However, that is the conspiracy theorist in me talking.

Well done, Serenus!

I could hear the rhythm and tones you were aiming for when you wrote this. Very beautiful. I'd love to hear this spoken by someone in that old-world preacher voice.
